“I would recommend Amber to any team looking to become better leaders and humans. If you’re willing to put the work in, you’ll get a lot out of it.”

My team wanted to get on the same page about what a good leader should look like. I initially chose Amber because she’s a trained Dare to Lead facilitator, and I’m a huge Brene Brown geek. However, it was immediately apparent that Amber took it a step further. She instantly incorporated feedback and personalized the program to meet our goals. As a result, I’ve noticed my team engaging in more open conversations and have gotten feedback that they’ve taken the work into their personal lives.

“Our Mandela Washington Fellows continue to reflect on what they learned for years after working with Amber. I can’t imagine doing our programs without her - she’s just the best.”

When finding people to partner with, we look for people who can cross international and intercultural boundaries. Amber had that skillset from the very beginning even though she hadn’t done that work before. She’s so good at what she does that becoming internationally oriented was an easy jump for her. By teaching the toolsets that allow people to think outside the box, Amber has empowered many people around the world to work more effectively together.
